#FiveThingsWeLikedThisWeek Ft. @sclubadults.bsky.social, Tristen, @ciwk.bsky.social, Baggio & @livinghour.bsky.social fortherabbits.net/2025/08/29/f...

Delighted to announce that one of my songs now has its very first REACTION VIDEO. This must be what it feels like to be Phil Collins

For week 38/52-2025 my #sotw is „Hold Fast“ from the upcoming new Brutalligators album. Still Here is out on @fikarecordings.com in November 🎧👇 open.spotify.com/track/04earS...

"By pairing indie-punk urgency with flourishes that lean toward indiepop, @brutalligators.bsky.social ’ latest single “Hold Fast” stands on a line between sorrow and defiance." Amplify The Noise amplifythenoise.com/listen-hold-... Listen here: li.sten.to/brutalligato...

this one’s perhaps the one that seems most likely to catch the indie and the punk kids all at once. There’s something in the verses that feels both British and not too far off from what the Weakerthans brought to the table on their first LP” austintownhall.com/2025/09/18/b...

Fellow record labels shipping physical music to the USA: There’s some new Bandcamp guidance that suggests there’s an exemption to the removal of de-minimus rules for “informational media”: get.bandcamp.help/hc/en-us/art... T-shirts, totes, badges etc wouldn’t be exempt, so liable to tariffs.
